AN INDICTMENT OF THE HUN 



BEWARE OF A GERMAN PEACE 

GERMAN agents are at work all over the 
world today promulgating peace — a 
German Peace. 

If they succeed this horrible war, forced by 
Germany on civilization, will end in German 
Victory. A German Victory would mean the 
destruction of everything Americans have 
fought for and are still fighting f or :— ideals ; 
government by the people; religious tolerance 
and the common decencies of Hf e. 

A German Victory would cast a slur on the 

American people that would go down through 

9 



10 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTOEY 

the ages and carry its aftermath through all 
civilization. 

No two forms of government are more op- 
posite than those of Washington and Berlin. 
In the former the bent of every succeeding 
administration has been to the common good; 
in the latter every effort is directed toward 
universal ill. Merciless tyrants over the com- 
mon people ; predatory and treacherous neigh- 
bors; discredited before the rest of the world 
in their corrupt diplomacy Germany stands 
pilloried for all time, represented by a gov- 
ernment without honor, void of justice, want- 
ing in pity. 

Every form of legislation; the teaching of 
their schools and universities; the doctrines of 
their leaders of thought for generations have 
all been directed to one end : conquest. Civil- 
ization is armed against them today as indi- 
viduals in outlawed communities arm against 
the thief and the murderer. Germany arro- 
gates to herself the right to plunder: to mur- 
der : to terrorize : to violate : to disregard every 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 11 

law of God and man. They have made their 
own laws. They respect none else. They 
have created their own god — the god of the 
Him — to him they pay homage and offer in 
sacrifice sacked cities, burning villages, cruci- 
fied men, outraged women and bayoneted chil- 
dren. There is no civilized human being to- 
day who claims kinship with the German with- 
out a shudder and a sense of burning shame. 
None, outside of the brute by instinct, can 
raise a voice in defence of their actions in 
forcing this unjust war and their conduct of it 
during the last four years. One may search 
in vain through the records of savages to find 
the forerunner of the bestial and filthy out- 
rages committed against civilian populations 
by the soldiers of the most degenerate race 
that in this year, 1918, disfigures the earth. 

Therefore, I call on the decent, clean-living 
people of this great Country to: 

BEWARE OF A GERMAN PEACE 



12 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

The American spirit has always been for 
justice in their relations with the rest of the 
world. Whenever they have taken up arms it 
has been in defence of right. The German 
spirit is, and has always been one of enmity 
to everything non-German and hatred for all 
who think, speak and act adversely to their 
foul and cruel doctrines. No better exempli- 
fication of their attitude toward peaceful and 
— ^until this terrible war was forced on the 
world by the German- Austrian governments — 
friendly countries than by their conduct to 
and in the United States. For twenty-five 
years they have been working, insidiously at 
first, then, growing bolder through apparent 
immunity from suspicion, openly, to engender 
bitter feeling between America and her neighs 
bors and her Allies in civilization. Spain, 
Mexico, Japan and England have all been ex- 
ploited for the purpose of embarrassing the 
United States Grovernment. Germans have 
worked ceaselessly, treacherously and con- 
temptibly to first create and then foster hos- 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 13 

tile relations between these countries and the 
United States. When the war first broke out 
in 1914 American citizens of German blood 
openly stated that England had been pre- 
paring for years for the war by making enor- 
mous quantities of munitions at home and 
sending them secretly to Canada to be later 
shipped to whatever front the war would com- 
mence on. 

No more ridiculous or preposterous lie was 
ever promulgated. At the beginning of the 
war England had barely ammunition enough 
for 100,000 men and no Mgh-eccplosives, Ger- 
many had 50,000 machine guns, the British 
army less than 500 : Germany had 4,000 mil- 
lions of rifle cartridges, England had 20 mil- 
lions. Germany had the 17-inch Krupp how- 
itzer, England had only batteries of 4!.7's — 
and, I repeat, no high-explosives. It was not 
until Lloyd George became Minister of Muni- 
tions that high-explosives were made in Eng- 
land in quantities sufficient to negative the 
German stupendous preparation. 



14t HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

And, in passing, it is a significant commen- 
tary on the invincibility (!) of the German 
army that, inferior in numbers as they were, 
ill-equipped in everything Germany had in 
overwhelming quantity, the "contemptible lit- 
tle army" under General French not only re- 
fused to be beaten by this all-conquering (!) 
foe but actually made General Joffre's glori- 
ous victory of the Marne possible. 

And it is also worthy of at least passing note 
that, in the face of Germany's much-vaunted 
efficiency, in two years from the time Lloyd 
George took control, Britain had not only 
equalled the forty years' preparation of the 
Hun but had in many important instances — 
notably in the mastery of the air . . . sur- 
passed it. What America has done in little 
more than a year turns to ridicule Germany's 
pretension to ''efficiency" Before this war is 
finished that word will never be heard by a 
German without a feeling of nausea. They 
have pitted their coarse, brutal, slow mentali- 
r "^ties against the keen, alert intelligence of civil- 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 15 

ized countries. The result has never been in 
doubt. The unciean in mind, body and habits 
cannot successfully cope with the clean for any 
protracted period. All history teaches that 
barbarity, after the initial successes of over- 
powering numbers, has always been subdued. 

The Hun will be subdued. He will achieve 
the fate of all foul, unclean mankind. 

But the brute, when beaten, whines long 
and loud. He tries to accomplish by corrup- 
tion what he has failed to win by force. 

The Hun is doing that today. 

So, oh, I pray you, beware of a German 
Peace. 



II 



PRO-GERMANISM IN THE UNITED 

STATES, THE IRISH-AMERICAN 

AND THE WAR, AND THE 

GERMAN-AMERICAN 

T N support of, and in addition to, the lie as 
^ to England's alleged preparation, these 
same citizens of German blood or German 
sympathy stated freely in this Country in the 
early days of the war, that England and Japan 
had formed a secret treaty to make war on 
America and divide the spoils. These propa- 
gandists also told all who would listen to them 
that it was fortunate that Germany had gone 
to war to protect America from Japan and 
England. That Germany was the natural 
ally of the United States, 

The events of the first three years of the 
war leading up to America's entrance into it 

16 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 17 

have proven the malignancy of that form of 
pro- German propaganda. 

Many who disseminated it are now in intern- 
ment-camps, serving terms of imprisonment 
for sedition or are awaiting trial under the 
new act. But I most strongly urge any man 
or woman who, before America came into the 
war, heard those lies repeated, to at once re- 
port the names of the people spreading them 
at that time to the Department of Justice, so 
that, if they are not already interned they may 
be kept under surveillance. It is also essen- 
tial that their names should be known to the 
authorities in the event of any of them holding 
important positions either under the Govern- 
ment, in munition, aeroplane or ship-building 
works; in steel-plants — ^in any quarter where 
they may work incalculable harm — ^so that 
their places may be filled by men loyal to 
America and the Allied Cause. 

I dare here to say, and I challenge contra- 
diction, that men who were pro-German prior 
to April 6th, 1917, who defended the sinking 



18 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

of the Lusitania and the butcheries of the civil 
populations of Belgium cities, and who strove 
with every means in their power to keep the 
United States from coming to the defence of 
its citizens and of civilization are pro-German 
today and should be put out of any responsi- 
ble office engaged in war-work. They should, 
in addition, be kept under strict observation 
and, if their actions or speech suggest disloy- 
alty, interned. 

Pro-Germanism is in the blood. The law 
can punish any overt act of the malefactor, but 
it cannot eliminate the poison from the pro- 
German's mijid. 

I insist that men who were pro-German be- 
fore President Wilson dismissed that pitiful 
example of German diplomatists — ^Bernstorff 
— are dangerous today. They are bad citizens ; 
their sympathies and hopes are still with Ger- 
many and they will help the Hun by any 
underhanded, stealthy means. They should 
be recorded in the Department of Justice and 
ceaselessly watched. 



HATE WITH A AYILL TO VICTORY 19 

If they have been converted to a civilized 
outlook and have renounced all allegiance to 
Germany and her propaganda let them prove 
it in their daily lives, in their actions, in their 
speech, in their subscriptions to Liberty Loans 
and to the Red Cross. If they are disloyal 
they should be placed where they can do no 
more harm. 



BELGIUM ATROCITIES PAR- 
ALLELED BY AMERICAN 
SOLDIERS! 

One of the most sinister forms of disgrace- 
ful pro-German propaganda that was being 
industriously circulated not long since stated 
that the loathsome atrocities inflicted by the 
Hun on the people of Belgium were no greater 
than similar excesses practised by soldiers dur- 
ing the Civil War in the United States, and 
that for every form of German bestiality the 
people of Northern France had to endure 
analogous outrages will be found in the his- 



20 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

tory of all wars. Both of these statements 
are foul and repellent lies. They are made 
with but one object — to foster pro-German- 
ism. Those who give utterance to them are 
a menace to any community during a crisis 
such as we are living amidst today. They 
should not be at large. Their names should 
be reported to the authorities and whenever 
it is proven that they have made such state- 
ments steps should at once be taken to intern 
them for the duration of the war. They are 
spreading a corrosive poison at a time when the 
Nation's health and vigor are being directed to 
a holy endeavor. Whenever any society, re- 
ligious or otherwise, has issued in pamphlet 
form for private circulation, such obnoxious 
untruths the officers responsible should be pro- 
ceeded against. 

They are serving but one purpose — Pro- 
Germamsm. 

No race, whose history is recorded, however 
ignorant, brutal or savage, has been guilty of 
the abominations, bestialities and tortures per- 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 21 

petrated on helpless prisoners and civilians by 
the Hun brutes — with the full knowledge of 
amd in many instances hy the orders of their 
officers and their government. 

Men spreading such propaganda are bad 
citizens to the Country of their adoption. 
They use their citizenship as a cloak to mask 
their disloyalty. Down in their hearts they 
want to see Germany victorious and would 
render any aid they could to that end so long 
as they did not risk their own safety. 

THE imSH'AMERICAN AND PRO- 
GERMANISM 

Another most dangerous element of Pro- 
Germanism is furnished by the Irish-Ameri- 
can, who would use this Country as a means 
to strike at Great Britain whilst she is fight- 
ing to free the world of the tyranny of the 
loathsome Hun. Such Irish- Americans are 
a distinct and dangerous factor. They have 
no loyalty to the United States. They use 



22 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

their citizenship to plot against England. 
That the Government is keenly alive to the 
menace is proved by the vigorous prosecutions 
now in progress and in contemplation. 

It is the duty, manifestly, of every citizen 
to report to the authorities any disloyal senti- 
ment expressed by these plotters against the 
public good. In their endeavors to injure 
Great Britain by attempts at spreading revo- 
lutionary doctrines in Ireland and America 
they are striking at the heart of the United 
States Government. They are active traitors. 
Watch should be kept on them by citizens in 
clubs, restaurants, public conveyances and at 
their disloyal meetings. They should be re- 
moved far from the places where their influence 
can be most malign. Russia has furnished the 
world an appalling example of what treachery 
within a country can bring to a suffering peo- 
ple. Attempts are already being made to 
spread Bolshevism in the United States and I 
am told that many of the upholders of that 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 23 

dangerous and destructive propaganda are 
men of Irish extraction. 

Search out the motives of these propagan- 
dists and in every instance it is revealed that 
it is not love of America — ^the Country of their 
adoption — or reverence for Ireland — the 
Country from which they sprang — ^but hatred 
of England that inspires their nefarious 
preachments. They are not agitating so much 
for the freedom of Ireland as they are for 
the crushing of England. Home Rule in Ire- 
land is the last thing they wish to see granted 
since it would rob them of their principal 
grievance and deprive them of the means of 
attracting notoriety through their loudly- 
vaunted hatred of all things British. 

Home Rule is on the Statute Books of Eng- 
land. The act granting it was passed in 1914o 
It has been suspended for the duration of the 
war. The only fear of the professional agita- 
tor is that some measure will be passed before 
the war's ending granting Ireland self-govern- 
ment. Then they would have to devise other 



24 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

grievances to enable them to pose as martyij 
and to shriek their plea for vengeance on the 
hated English. 

What is the real condition in Ireland? Re- 
ports of oiScials and eye-witnesses agree that 
the Irish people are better fed, better housed, 
and own more land through their peas- 
antry pro rata than any other country today. 
The British Government advanced immense 
amounts of money to purchase the land, hand 
it to the peasants and are repaid at a smaller 
rate than the tenants were paying in rent. In 
a certain number of years the land will be 
owned by the peasants. 

Compare their condition with that of the 
German peasant — a slave from birth, with no 
rights as a free man, owing allegiance to a 
militaristic government to whom he looks for 
his very life; crushed by taxation to keep up 
the military machine; ill-nourished, ignorant, 
prone to crime in greater measure than the 
peasants of any other country — as the Ger- 
man statistics of crime show — a degraded pres- 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 25 

-nt, a wretched future and a loathsome past — 
these are the inheritances to which the Ger- 
man peasant is bom. What type of nature can 
develop in such conditions? But one — the 
brute. And the four years' commerce of this 
war has shown the German from prince to 
peasant as offspring of the one family — the 
hrute family. 

And yet the pro-German Irish-American 
agitator paints in vivid colors the wretched lot 
of the Irish peasant and schemes with German 
agents to hand over Ireland to the sway of the 
Hun! Such men are a danger in civilized 
communities. 

No Irishman stands before the world as a 
greater patriot, a more reverent and sincere 
lover of his country than T. P. O'Connor. His 
words have brought comfort for over a gen- 
eration to loyal and suffering Irish men and 
women. His influence has done much to help 
remedial legislature for Ireland to pass in the 
English House of Commons; he has spread 
the truth about Irish wrongs with a fervid 



26 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTOEY 

tongue and a glowing pen ; he has given all his 
best years to the service of his country men 
and women, cheering them in distress, fighting 
for them in Westminster and pleading their 
cause in alien countries. Yet he declared but 
a httle while since that much as he loved Ire- 
land, sincerely as he longed for her freedom 
he would not have that freedom purchased at 
the price of an enslaved Belgium. 

There spoke the real Irish patriot; the real 
lover of hberty. 

Ireland's wrongs in the past cry out for jus- 
tice, and they shall have justice. 

The English people — through their govern- 
ment — awake at last to the bitter and un- 
worthy treatment of Ireland in the black days, 
happily gone, are only too willing to give it— 
if only the Irish people will agree as to what 
they want. 

Home Rule can be theirs for the asking. 

What holds legislation back? 

The paid agitator; the pro-German agita- 
tor; the anti-English agitator. Home Rule, 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 27 

by a single stroke of the pen, would relegate 
them to the obscure. Their occupation would 
be gone. So they strive unceasingly to keep 
hatred alive against England. They are play- 
ing the German game. 

They are a reproach to the Country they 
profess to love. They are a danger to the 
Country they have adopted. Thank heaven 
their numbers are few compared to the great 
body of noble Americans of Irish stock now 
doing battle with the Hun and heating Mm, 

Irish soldiers were the first to go on board 
the first troop-ship leaving England for 
France in August, 1914. They were the first 
to land in France. They have made imperish- 
able history for valor at Mons, at Ypres, at 
Suvla Bay — at every important engagement 
of the British forces wherever the undertaking 
seemed the most hopeless there the Irish sol- 
diers shone at their best — notably the seeming- 
ly impossible landing at Suvla Bay, up an al- 
most perpendicular cliff, on which played the 
Turkish heavy artillery, aided by nests of ma- 



28 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

chine guns. Yet the Irish made the landing. 

Of the first eighth/ decorations given for 
conspicuous gallantry under fire by the Brit- 
ish army, seventeen were bestowed on Irish 
soldiers I 

Ask the Irish soldier, who has met him in 
battle, how he regards the Hun! 

Dare to suggest to the Irish soldier that his 
Country be handed over to the Hun I 

Put the Irish-American, pro-German, Bol- 
sheviki agitators amongst the Irish soldiers of 
the famous old 69th Regiment to preach his 
filthy, defeatist doctrine I 

Such renegades to the Sacred Cause of Lib- 
erty defame the fair name of Ireland, the land 
of heroes, and America, the refuge of the op- 
pressed. 

They are outcasts from the body-politic of 
civilized countries. If Germany means to 
them the consummation of their ideals then 
let them be interned for the remainder of this 
world's conflict, put to useful work, and when 
peace comes send them on the first out-going 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 29 

ship to the country they admire, where they 
will find fitting associates for their despicable 
doctrines. 

Civilization is in a holy war against bar- 
barity. 

All who try to hinder it are self-confessed 
outlaws of civilized peoples. 

Their present dwelling place should be be- 
hind barbed wires. 

Their future home should be in the land of 
the Hun. 

GERMAN-AMERICANS 

Another subtle and far-reaching propa- 
ganda extols the merits and decries suspicion 
of German-Americans. To that a great 
American statesman has answered: — **There 
are no German- Americans. There are only 
Americans and traitors!" 

The two words do not mingle. There can 
be no bond between the two countries. The 
present generation still rages with a just anger 



30 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

at the inconceivable crimes of Germany against 
everything American — ^her broken laws, her 
outraged hospitality, her citizens, old and 
young, done to death on the high seas. Al- 
ready accounts of American soldiers found 
hanging to trees fans the outburst of national 
wrath against the hordes of the unspeakable 
Hun. To couple "German" with American 
is a form of insult. Who dares to hyphenate 
falsehood and truth, brutishness and decency, 
unparalleled bestiality with enduring justice? 

If they are American let them be satisfied 
to be so known. They should be proud to be. 
It is their honor. 

If Germans, let them affect an honesty even 
if they do not feel it, acknowledge their pre- 
dilection and bear the stigma. No man can 
give allegiance to two nations so diametrically 
opposed in their standards of honor. Let the 
mask be stripped from self-styled German- 
Americans. They should be compelled to 
stand forth acknowledgly German or Ameri- 
can. 



Ill 

THE DOCTRINE OF HATRED 

IN the first year of the war, frenzied at Eng- 
land's intervention on behalf of Martyred 
Belgium, every German ship driven from the 
sea by the British Fleet, the great German 
Fleet, built up with so much blatant boasting, 
helpless, the Germans sent out to the world 
their "Hymn of Hate" against the little island 
that had checked their first move toward 
world-dominion. All their pent-up fury found 
vent against England. From end to end of 
Germany, to the millions of their soldiers East 
and West, in Russia, in the Balkans and in 
France hatred of England was imposed as a 
ritual. 

It was indeed a typical German hymn. 

In the year 1918 that same doctrine of 

31 



32 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

hatred has recoiled on the Hun as a boom- 
erang. 

Today all civilized peoples in all civilized 
nations hate them. 

The doctrine has deflected against the Hun 
^nd they cry out to relinquish it. 

It is even as their poison-gas. 

With what triumphant barbarous glee they 
screamed with joy over their first success with 
such a genuinely German invention. 

Now that the Allies can produce a more 
virulent poison and in far greater quantities 
what would the Hun give today never to have 
used it? 

When he instituted its use, it was a glorious 
achievement for the "unconquerable" German 
armies and their "incomparable" leaders. Now 
that it is used against them they complain that 
it is against the rules of war. 

All is fair against the enemy. 

Everything that reacts against them is 
"against the rules of war." 

They threw down the gauntlet of "Hatred!" 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTOKY 33 

The Allies take it up. 

Let us hate the Hun and hate him with a . 
will to victory over him I 

A healthy and natural hatred and loathing 
for the unclean, the bestial and the degenerate 
is implanted in all right-thinking peoples. 

Every religion teaches a hatred of evil. V 

Is not the Hun evil? V 

Does he not out of his own actions cry out 
for the world's hatred? 

He has boasted of his contempt for civiliza- 
tion. 

He has shown it in his foul acts. 

Let him know civilization's contempt for 
him. 

Therefore I call on you, **Hate the Hun and 
hate him with a will to Victory so that he may 
perish." Posterity will give him his right 
place amongst the malefactors of all time. 



34 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

THE GERMAN PEOPLE BACK OF 
THE HUN 

And in voicing our doctrine of Hate let us 
not forget that the German people were and 
are still solidly behind him in everything he 
does. 

There is no more dangerous suggestion for 
the outcome of this war, to the Allied aims of 
a Civilized Peace, that will include a council 
of civilized nations, than the one asking us not 
to blame the German people for the horrible 
acts of their soldiers. 

The G^erman people are actively and pas- 
sively with their government to the last man 
and the last mark. No people receive their 
faith and their rules of conduct more fatu- 
ously from their rulers than do the German 
people. Fronting the world they stand as one 
with their beloved Kaiser. He who builds on a 
revolution in Germany as a possible ending 
of the war knows not what he says. They will 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 35 

follow through any degradation of the body, 
through any torture of spirit the tyrants they 
have been taught from infancy to regard as 
their Supreme Masters of body and soul. 

The German people gloried in the declara- 
tion of war: rejoiced in every barbarity of 
their soldiers and have given their whole sup- 
port to the prosecution of the war. Then let 
us analyze carefully the attitude of the Ger- 
man people before we dare to lay the flatter- 
ing unction to our souls that we are not fight- 
ing them, 

I contend we are fighting them. 

And we are not only contending with Ger- 
mans in their own country but with Germans 
in this country. 

Remember what they had been and in some 
instances are still doing, in America sfnce Au- 
gust, 1914. 

They have not only openly defended every 
act of their government — even to the murder 
of American citizens — but they have plotted 
under the shelter of the then neutrality of the 



36 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

United States to destroy her munition plants, 
burn her provender, undermine the loyalty of 
her citizens, subsidize newspapers to pro-Ger- 
man propaganda, place bombs in her ships and 
to vilify and hamper her President in his 
sacred duty of guarding and guiding his coun- 
try. 

Germans are fighting America and her 
Allies today in their homes as surely as their 
soldiers are on the fighting line. 

The German people are against you. 

If you value all that makes life endurable 
you must be against them. 

It is as much a people's war as a soldier's 
war. 

There is no half-way course. 

The allied soldier neither wants nor expects 
mercy from the Hun. The Hun hates him. 

The German people hate you. They will 
show you no mercy should it ever be in their 
power to harm you. 

Even as their armies, only one doctrine

HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 37 

Let US not waste sentimental platitudes on 
the German people. They waste none on you. 
They hate with a will for their soldiers to 
victory. 

Let us of all the allied races hate them 
and hate with a will to overwhelming victory, 
a victory from which the Hun and her people y 
will never rise to butcher and ravage again. 

Let the stimulus to victory be hatred. ^ 

Let the accumulated force of that hatred 
impel to a victory that may beat barbarity to 
its knees I 

Crush it until it cries for a mercy it has 
never shown to a fallen foe. 

Therefore, all ye Allies, hate with a will to 
victory. Turn a deaf ear to the Defeatist cry 
that the Hun must not be humiliated in the 
hour of his defeat. Humiliated I 

In the name of the God above us all what 
has the Hun brute done in the four years of 
this merciless war but humiliate wherever his 
foot has trod? 

Were the people of Belgium humiliated? 



38 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

Were the grief -stricken women of Northern 
France humiliated when, torn from their fami- 
lies, they were sent to slavery and to be prosti- 
tuted by the German soldiery? 

Were the Armenian Jews humiliated when 
by agreement with Germany's accursed Kaiser 
their worthy allies, the Turks, tortured and 
maimed and put them to unthinkable deaths? 

Humiliated! 

If it were only possible to humiliate them 
one tithe as much as the suffering peoples 
martyred for four years by their disease and 
loathsome soldiers have been humiliated! 

Hate and hate with a will to victory. 

They have given every cause. 

Every country they have entered is now a 
reeking inferno. 

Hate them, all you allied peoples, for the 
^ pestilence they have spread over once fair 
lands. 

Hate them for the wrongs wreaked on your 
defenceless women. 

Hate them for the God in Whose name their 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 39 

ruler blasphemously proclaims they do these 
deeds — the God of infinite patience and infinite 
justice. 

They have outraged all we hold sacred. 

They have tortured and maimed and cruci- 
fied: sent wounded men and gentle nurses to 
death on hospital-ships — and the German 
people have hung out flags and kept holiday 
for the glorious victories of their "unconquer- 
able" soldiers. 

They have burned women, bayoneted chil- 
dren, placed old men and young girls in front 
of their "brave" Huns when advancing to bat- 
tle — and the German people have laughed with ^ 
glee, rung bells of rejoicing, while their em- 
peror pinned crosses on the valorous breasts 
of his brave Prussians ! 

They have put healthy prisoners in typhus- 
fever camps, injected others with the bacillus 
of tuberculosis, starved and ill-treated and sub- 
jected them to every conceivable coarse hu- 
miliation — and not a word of protest has come 



W HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

from one German either in his own country or 
in neutral countries. 

And yet, we are implored by the Defeatist, 
when their power for ill is broken, civilization 
must exercise the greatest care lest, in making 
the terms of peace, these despicable ruffians be 
in their turn humiliated! 

Hate, I implore you, with a will to victory 
and humiliation! 



HUMILIATION AFTER THE WAR 

AN INCENTIVE TO THE HUN TO 

FIGHT MORE RESOLUTELY 

Pacifists, too, urge that the knowledge 
they were to be punished for their crimes when 
the day of accounting comes would make them 
fight all the harder to fend off that day of. 
retribution. 

That is bad psychology. 

Separate the brute from his mob of cut- 
throats, and he is at heart a coward. He 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 41 

dreads physical pain. More especially does 
he shrink from hurt administered by law. 

Many years ago robberies with violence 
broke out all over England. No terms of im-- 
prisonment, however severe, had any effect in 
checking the epidemic of brutal crime. The 
law-makers and judges of the country were 
baffled. None seemed to know just how to 
deal with the growing menace. But extreme 
crises beget leaders. England was fortunate 
in having one such, Mr. Justice Hawkins. 

Through his instrumentality a law was 
passed empowering judges to make part of the 
sentences on men convicted of robbery with 
violence (they were known as "garotters") a 
flogging with the "cat-o'-nine-tails." 

In a few years that form of crime had be- 
come practically extinct I 

Justice Hawkins used to tell of one brute 
brought up before him, after the new law 
had been passed, for an aggravated case of 
robbery and assault. He sentenced him to a 
long term of penal servitude. The thug 



42 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

laughed at him. "In addition," proceeded the 
judge, "yo^ w^ll receive twenty strokes of the 
cat per week for the first three months of your 
sentence." 

The brute, who had warred on the defence- 
less, who laughed at a jail sentence, fell down 
in the dock unconscious. He could inflict suf- 
fering on others without mercy. But when 
told his body would be hurt, he fainted. Judge 
Henry Hawkins knew the psychology of the 
ruffian. He earned the gratitude of the United 
Kingdom by eliminating that peculiarly Hun- 
like form of outrage. 

The moment the tribunal of the Allies makes 
it known that every infringement of the Law 
of Nations will be punished after the war : that 
the criminal in uniform fighting under the Ger- 
man flag will stand in the dock, when their 
power is broken, to receive sentence, so far 
from the pronouncement giving strength to 
the Hun arm it will strike terror to his heart. 

The Hun fears justice. 

He does not understand it.

CRIME AND THE CRIMINAL IN 
GER3IANY 

He has been reared in the most infamous of 
schools. 

He has been taught that all things are right 
if you have force enough to do them. From 
childhood he has been reared on the doctrine 
of terror. That, and his own brutish nature 
account in a large measure for the fact that 
the German people lead the world in criminal /^ 
records of all forms of assault : — 

"Germany in 1913 had over 4,000,000 crimi- 
nals, or about one to every 16 inhabitants. 
Professor Moll, of the University of Berlin, 
estimates the number of prostitutes in the Ger- 
man empire at no less than 1,500,000. Bebel 
stated that Germany supplies half the prosti- 
tutes of the world, and his statement still re- 
mains unrefuted. 

"Unnnatural vice has also assumed the 
gravest dimensions. In Berlin it was estimat- 
ed by an authority that there are 30,000 per- 
sons afflicted with the disease, and that 2,000 



44« HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

male perverts are known to the Berlin police, 
who tolerate forty resorts frequented by these 
individuals. The vice is known to exist in all 
the large towns of Germany, where there are 
clubs and other resorts frequented solely by 
perverts. This state of affairs is so well- 
known to French scientists and physicians that 
the term "le vice allemand" is now used to des- 
ignate the aberration. . . . Venereal disease 
in Germany has risen to colossal figures. In 
1913 it was publicly announced in Prussia 
alone, for a period of five years, there had been 
an annual average of 773,000 cases. It has 
also been publicly announced in Berlin that 
90% of the male Berliner s have at one tim6 
or another been afflicted with sexual disease. 
"The German capital is the centre for the 
White Slave traffic of the world. ... In 1906 
the number of juvenile offenders was 55,000. 
Germany is the land of the 'lust-murder/ a 
particularly Teutonic and bestial form of hu- 
man butchery. Sadism, Masochism, Fetech- 
ism and Necrophilism — significantly these are 
diseases on which German physicians are the 
leading and recognized authorities. ... In the 
following table the figures represent only the 
minimum of damage that health, property and 
the person suffered in Germany in 1909: —

"In contemplating these figures we may well 
be pardoned employing a somewhat over- 
worked term these days — they are simply ap- 
palling, 8,407 cases of indecent assault on 
children under 14 years of age; 115,844 con- 
victions for petty larceny; 46,922 convictions 
for embezzlement; 51,810 cases of fraud and 
30,337 convictions for malicious mischief — a 
grand total of 797,112 convictions for one soli- 
tary year I What is to be said of the mentality 
of a race producing this vast host of criminal 
persons? And yet in Germany these terrible 
figures appear to occasion but little concern; 
they seem to be taken as a matter of course. 

"In the year 1903, according to German im- 
perial statistics, the number of juveniles con- 
victed amounted to no less than 50,219. In 
'Crime and Its Repression' by Gustav Aschf- 
f enburg, the Professor remarks : 'Just on four- 
fifths of these were setting foot in the criminal 
arena for the first time — soon to compete with 
the veterans. . . . Our penal system is abso- 
lutely ineffective to check the spreading de- 
pravity.' 

"In the wholesale outrages committed by the 
German soldiery there are whole categories of 
crime which the order of superiors cannot pos- 
sibly palliate nor excuse, particularly the 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 47 

countless cases of mutilation of mothers, girls 
and little children. As an example of the Ger- 
man soldiery's treatment of the helpless 
wounded take the following ( Viscount Bryce's 
report, page 57) : 'Outside Ypres we were 
in the trenches and were attacked, and had to 
retire until reenforced by other companies of 
the Royal Fusiliers. Then we took the 
trenches and found the wounded, between 20 
and 30, lying in the trenches with bayonet 
wounds, and some shot. Most of them, say 
three-quarters, had their throats cut' 

*'Let us have no more talk of the 'kindly 
and good-natured' German people, whether in 
official documents or not. It is a pernicious 
and proven falsity. 

"To the last man, to the last shilling, Brit- 
ain has to see that the depraved, diseased and 
barbarous German people can never again 
jeopardize the peace of Europe."* 

The foregoing figures prove that terms of 
imprisonment in Germany have no effect in 
reducing crime. On the contrary crime in- 
creases. Flogging would reduce crime to a 
minimum. The German brute cannot bear

pain. He, in his turn, would faint at a sen- 
tence carrying with it bodily hurt. 

Another fact one grasps at reading the hor- 
rifying record of German crime in times of 
peace is that civilization need not wonder at 
their still more atrocious record of crime 
against the civilians in captured towns. 

Law statistics prove the German to be 
by instinct predatory and destructive amongst 
his own people. How much more so is he 
when ordered to ravage at will by his officers. 
He has been taught that laws are for the weak. 
That the Hun is above law, so he has gone his 
desolate way burning, pillaging, murdering 
the old and the helpless. Surrounded by his 
fellow-Huns he reeks of blatant, boasting 
courage. But, I repeat, segregate him and 
he is of the stuff cowards are made of. I in- 
sist he dreads hurt. He is driven, in many in- 
stances, as German prisoners have complained 
and whined about, covered by machine guns, 
whilst his 'incomparable' officers lead him from 
behind. The four years traffic the Allies have ♦ 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 49 

had with the Hun make pitiful history for fu- 
ture ages to read of the all-conquering ( I) in- 
vincible ( !) German armies. 

Take from them their heavy guns, their 
high-explosives, their poison-gas, their liquid- 
fire and put them to fight as men did in Napo- 
leon's campaigns against armies similarly 
equipped and I contend there is scarcely a 
country bearing arms today that would not 
defeat them however great might be their 
numerical superiority. No army, confident in 
the justice of its cause, the courage of its 
troops and the spirit of brave leadership of its 
officers has ever had to descend to employ ev- 
ery form of diabolical invention science can 
produce to endeavor to snatch a victory. 

ANB THEIR ARMIES HAVE NOT 
WON ONE VICTORY! 

After employing every filthy, devilish, con- 
temptible method of warfare what have they 
to show today in August, 1918, after four 



50 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

years of incessant warfare? Every army they 
have attacked is intact! 

Not one has been compelled to surrender to 
them I 

NAPOLEON'S FIRST PRINCIPLE 

They have failed in the first principle of 
warfare Napoleon and Wellington developed: 

"Destroy or capture your enemy's armies 
and his lands will fall with his men. Leave 
his armies even partially intact and he will re- 
form and recruit them and take from you any 
adventitious advantage you may have won." 

And that will be the final history of the war. 

Every acre of land taken by the Hun will 
be re-taken by the Allies since their armies are 
not only intact but ever-increasing. 

So slow have the Hun armies been to fol- 
low up their weight of metal and superiority 
in numbers, so inefficient their infantry for 
protracted battles, that even the small armies 
of Belgium and Serbia, after inflicting terrible 



HAIE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 51 

losses on the Germans in rear-guard actions, 
are after four years still intact and, in the ease 
at least of Serbia, actually stronger than when 
the Hun first attacked them. 

It is true Germany can show great stretches 
of country on the map taken from the Allies. 

As an offset every colony Germany pos- 
sessed has been lost. 

And the battle is still being waged and it 
will continue to wage until the Hun will be 
fighting on the soil of his beloved Fatherland 
'—fighting on the defensive with all power of 
offensive gone. 

That is if a German Peace is not rnade first. 

It must not be made. 

It will not be made if all the peoples of the 
allied countries will that it should not. 

It is on their voices that the ultimate civi- 
lized peace will be formed. 

The voice of the allied peoples wiU be as the 
voice of God calling for Justice, 

Justice on the Hun. y 

Punishment on the Hun. y 



52 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTOHY 

Y Hatred for the Hun. 

Let all the peoples of all the allied countries 
hate the Hun and hate him with a will to Vic- 
tory. 

Let that Doctrine of Hate be spread until it 
reaches to the smallest towns in the United 
States. 

Scatter broadcast the catalogue of Hun 
atrocities so that none who read may escape it. 

Teach the people that no peace can be made 
or must be made until Germany will be power- 
less to harm nations large and small. 

If a body of armed men run amok in a 
community they are disarmed first and pun- 
ished afterward. 

Germany must be disarmed and punished. 

Instruct the people of America how Ger- 
many has repaid the hospitality extended by 
the American people. 

They have violated all diplomatic law and 
custom, betrayed friendship, used American 
mails as carriers for plots against the Ameri- 
can people and instilled their insidious and 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 53 

treacherous propaganda even into the school- 
books of American children. 



GERMANS AND VICE 

Search the police records and learn of their 
control of the vice of some of the great cities 
of the United States, 

As their own figures show Germany leads 
the world in every form of vice, perversion, 
bestiality and the diseases pertaining thereto. 

And, as lepers, they carry and spread these 
diseases through the lands of France, Belgium, 
Poland — wherever their tainted soldiery has 
set its foot. 

Small wonder a Jewish scientist makes six 
hundred and six experiments with arsenic in 
an attempt to relieve the German population 
of the major sexual disease. 

Compare the statistics of crime in Germany 
with the records of this country and the people 
of America will be aghast at the comparison. 

Analyze the claims of the German people in 



54 HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 

science, philosophy, art, music and invention 
and convince yourselves how immeasurably 
they are behind all civilized countries. But 
for the great Jewish race how many artists 
or musicians could they point to as represent- 
ing Germany? Almost all scientific inven- 
tions claimed by Germans originated either in 
America, France or England. 

Their philosophers succeeded in destroying 
religion and substituting science. Poison-gas 
has been one of the major results. 

Germans have never been leaders. Their 
brains are not creative. They seize on the dis- 
coveries of others and plod wearily to improve 
them. By taking out patents for the improve- 
ments they arrogate to themselves the right of 
the inventor. 

They have brought neither comfort, truths 
beauty nor virtue to humanity. 

Even in their vices they hark back to the 
days before civilization. 

And yet forsooth, they would impose their 
degenerate will on civilization ! 



HATE WITH A WILL TO VICTORY 55 

Hate the Hun, oh ye people who love clean- 
liness and decency, and hate him with a will to 
Victory. 

It is only by loathing all things evil that we 
value good. 

Then let us hate all that is evil, as repre- 
sented by the Hun, so that good may endure. 

A CIVILIZED PEACE 

When the council of civilized nations meet 
at the conference for civilized peace let the 
Hun and his butcher allies, the Austrians, 
Turks and Bulgarians, stand as servants 
awaiting orders from their masters. Barbarity 
must be leashed so that it can never again 
threaten the peace of the world. Never again 
should it be necessary that the best blood of 
noble countries be shed in defence of their 
homes and the honor of their women-kind from 
the murderers and thieves of Germany, Aus- 
tria, Turkey and Bulgaria.

SERBIA AND THE PAN-GERMAN 

MAP 

This war was not launched for any prin- 
ciple. 

It was conceived solely from a desire to rob. 

Serbia blocked the Pan-German map. 

Serbia had to be crushed. 

If Germany is left with any control over 
Serbia, she will have won this war and the first 
battle of the next. 

Serbia must be restored to her people intact. 

Her integrity as a self-governing state is 
essential to destroy Germany's pretensions to 
world-power. 

From the council of the civilized nations 
Serbia must be given complete immunity from 
the possibility of future German- Austrian ag- 
gression. 

By that edict Pan-Germanism in the East 
will be definitely broken.

PUNISHMENT FOR THE HUN 
CRIMES 

When the lands stolen by the Huns have 
been restored; cities rebuilt; indemnities paid 
to the survivors of the martyred peoples, then 
the coimcil of civilized nations will face the 
punishment of the instigators and perpetra- 
tors of the terrible outrages against civiliza- 
tion. The ring-leaders must be brought to 
trial before the Tribunal of Civilization and 
publicly executed. Their followers should be 
pubhcly flogged. IneiFectual as such punish- 
ment may seem remembering the atrocities of 
which he has been guilty, the Hun should be 
made to suffer since it is only bodily hurt that 
impresses him. He has inflicted it wherever 
he has gone with fiendish thoroughness. Let 
him know something of what his victims have 
felt.

TIONS 

In the minds of the just, the decent and the 
clean-lived Germany is outlawed. It is for 
their future peoples to strive by honorable liv- 
ing, by respecting their neighbors, by observ- 
ance of the duties and customs of civilizations, 
to redeem the good name of their country from 
the heritage of loathing which she has so justly 
earned. It will be for them to endeavor to 
remove the stigma of dishonor and bestiality 
from the word "German" and by their work of 
redemption win back some place for their 
country in the world's esteem — a place they 
have forfeited through their wicked, wanton, 
treacherous and bloody acts.
